劇場版 九条の大罪
Overview
Kujo is known as an "unscrupulous lawyer" who accepts clients from the criminal underworld without judgment and protects them fiercely. Then there is Karasuma, an elite lawyer and Kujo's former partner, with whom he has since parted ways and is now at odds. The two find themselves caught up in a fierce underworld turf war and a tightening net cast by the police and prosecutors. It all begins with Mibu, a leader of a semi-organized crime group and one of Kujo's clients. Mibu's underlings mistakenly kidnap the son of Kyogoku, a yakuza lieutenant. Upon learning this, Mibu betrays Kyogoku and takes action to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Kyogoku's yakuza subordinates raid Kujo's law office in search of Mibu. A brutal battle of betrayal and counter-betrayal erupts within this ecosystem of evil. Seizing the opportunity, the police and prosecutors close in on Kujo for protecting criminals. Obsessed with arresting him, they finally serve Kujo with an arrest warrant. Can he secure his own release on bail within 20 days? Yakuza threaten and hunt down the semi-organized gang members who are fleeing in terror of retaliation and torture. And always, it is the vulnerable in society who suffer the consequences. Despite their estrangement, Kujo's former partner Karasuma takes an unexpected course of action as a lawyer.
